- In-class activities are excluded from re-evaluation.
- The Participation grade is based on the active role in doing textbook activities/assignments in class, the exercises proposed by the professor in the Campus Virtual and in the online workbook. It may consider as well the attendance to cultural activities eventually proposed by the professor.
- Re-assessment will consist of a written exam.
- Before posting the final grades, and prior to record them on the transcripts, the professor will provide date and time for the written re-take exam.
- Students are fully responsible for checking all their graded activities/exams.
- If a student commits any irregularity that lead to a significant variation of the grade in any activity, s/he will be given zero for this activity regardless of any disciplinary process that may follow up. In the event of several irregularities, the student will be given zero as final grade for the subject.
- In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be taken online through the UAB online tools (original grade weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities, and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are ableto access these remote tools, and/or will offer feasible alternatives.
